Prospect Info: [2022 - 33rd] Owen Beck (OHL - Saginaw Spirit)

[hardcorehabs]

other than Beck, who are all these players similar to Wright that we keep picking and acquiring??? I must have missed some picks/acquisitions because Beck is the only one I’ve seen called similar to Wright.

Dach

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

was hoping for Firkus or Hutson but Beck is a safe pick he will play in the NHL imo

 

[NicRattlehead]

Brutal, could have had Chesley, I am starting to dislike our new management and scouting. That did not take long

Regardless of the sport it’s hard to say “I hate this pick and our management” unless they do something like pick a player who is ranked the #400 top prospect at 10 or something ridiculous like that. If you follow sports close enough and look back you realize how many times you as a fan get things wrong as much and in most cases more than the GM and scouting staff. Just relax, read about the new picks and wait and see how things play out.

 

[Ghetto Sangria]

Not for nothing, but Beck was projected to go anywhere from 20 to 40... Seems like he was selected right where he should have?

Agreed we all have our preferences. I wanted Firkus or Del Bel Belluz, but how can you really hate this pick?

 

[xX SEYF Xx]

Now just hoping to be wrong and that they have well better informed scouts than the general opinion. But yeah looks like meh to me

 

[montreal]

would have gone with Goyette but only 5 U-18 skaters had more points then Beck

 

[HabsForHire]

I mean maybe it's not a sexy pick, but it's all a crapshoot at this point right?

No reason to get too worked up. Would have loved Hutson though.

People here would have complained about his size, cant win with these people.

 

[BarracudaMtl]

Beck is not bad lmao, this board is becoming nauseating

Seriously , some posters here think they know better than NHL SCOUTS....

 

[NicRattlehead]

Dach

Hmm I haven’t seen Dach as a comparable player but so what if he is. I mean getting a guy that is comparable to the 4th overall pick in the draft is not a bad thing.

Too be fair I think a monkey rolling a pair of dice would have done better than Montreal's GM/Scout have done since the early 90's. We've had bad drafting forever we can't be trusting these guys.

 

[CapSpace]

This board starts to look like cancer. f*** sake people you are overeacting.

 

[Luigi Habs]

His offensive stats are not very impressive. Even for a 3rd/4th liner, I hope he can develop some offense.

 

[SlyIslands]

Since everyone here liked Thrower, Bozon and Collberg. I will say great pick

 

[HabsForHire]

They expect mcdavid level prospects in the 2nd round

You cant ask for Kulich yesterday and complain about Beck now. Im ok even it doesnt answer need

 

[Ghetto Sangria]

that draft was highly celebrated here and was such a bust in the end.

 

[crazyd74]

I feel we are overstocking with RH forwards

 

[NicRattlehead]

This board starts to look like cancer. f*** sake people you are overeacting.

It’s any board in any sport. Honestly the most disheartening thing is if you are a fan of a team where nobody comments or cares about anything. The fact that people complain about the picks and there is so much interest speaks to how much we care as Canadiens fans. I think it’s actually a positive thing (although I’m not complaining at all personally).

 

[Dirby Kach]

Wanted firkus. Get him a chef and a weight room for 18 months and he will be a monster.

 

[jaffy27]

Lapointe & Bobrov is a puke worthy tandem

Who was your player?

Becoming? It became a long time ago.

They can’t do that. If their guy isn’t picked, everyone sucks. Bringing massive value to the conversation

 

[MasterD]

Absolutely. Most of us have never seen these guys play, tons of them have missed +/- a year of hockey, and HuGo haven't had time to overhaul the draft department yet.

Yet the whole board craps on them at every pick. I think I'm out for a few weeks, this place will be a cesspool.

Dach

Who would probably have been picked before Wright if they were in the same draft class.

Since everyone here liked Thrower, Bozon and Collberg. I will say great pick

To be fair Bozon was a pretty good prospect before his health issues. And Collberg got us a nice return.

What do you mean some??? We ALL do!!

Haha no worries. I know it’s coming regardless of what I say. If I can’t get my kids to listen to me why would a bunch of fellow Canadiens fans? My ego is nowhere near big enough to think my comment would have that type of impact. Just offering a different perspective.
